10:00 MKBHD: "There is a new vapor chamber cooling system inside of this phone that you'll never see" JerryRigEverything: "Hold my beer"
Came here just to comment this!
I commented the same point
Vapor chamber really tasty when its open 😏
Probably has the same failure point in the chassis as well
Dumb, not the same, not a good joke, not a good comment
16Gb ram, 165Hz display, 2 USB c ports, external cooling system MY Pc: Wait, that's illegal.
True
I saw your comment on Arun's channel😂😂
And a headphone jack 🤯

My ROG Phone 6 Pro got 18GB RAM. Bonkers illegality!
Props to you and your team.. these vids are so helpful and informative- gratitude!
Words can not explain how much of a crack the two usb-c feature is. Its a case of not realizing the scope without trying something out. Love it to bits
I’m trying to figure out the use case for this?
@@realgreencookie I posted some stuff as reply but the channel keeps removing it. can't help
@@HolyRamanRajya no worries. Was just curious.
just for ridiculous factor I'm hoping eventually asus makes it so charging with both c ports is faster
@@realgreencookiewhen gaming in landscape mode, you'd want the charger on the side of the phone rather than the bottom. Just like how a Nintendo Switch has it's charger on it's bottom.
They released a new phone?! and didn't tell me....
It ll probably bend and break like last years ROG and the year before. Nothing new to see here I think. I am waiting for a ROG Phone that finally gets rid of this terrible Dual Battery system and goes back to what it was in the ROG3
cant wait for you to break this phone 💪🏼😄
Show us that vapor chamber jerry
I want to see your rog 7 teardown video
Coz they know you will break it!
It’s incredible how better you can make a phone just by making it thicker!
And still it bends in the pocket.
@@pedro4205 so don't keep it in your back pocket?
same for laptops, you have to choose between performance and looks
@@jodlaa5142 your logic is literally "if you're homeless just buy a home"
@@Crimjonn No it's not. If that guy is complaining about a phone bending in the pocket, I would assume he meant while it's in the back pocket. So the logical thing to do, to circumvent that, would be to put it into another pocket so it doesn't bend. Where's the problem dude?
I love the details you give us, really informative.
Damn those triggers that come with the accessory is brilliant! It will be very useful for emulation
I’ve lived from $1000 digital cameras shooting 640X480 to 50 megapixel phone cameras “good enough that you’re not mad” 😮

Hi bruh!!!
Holy shit it's the guy!
Agreed, I feel like we're finally living towards the singularity.
the ROG phone line has just been something out of this world lmao. plus it has near stock android. love it. remember the weird gaming UI they had for the first phone and then changed it in the second version? lmao i love that they listen to feedback

Great choice of song to show the attachment!!
Love your Reviews. complete information 💋
The active cooling attacment is the most extra thing I have ever seen in a phone and I kinda love it.
In usa where can you buy this its so hard to get rog phone
not even phone games nowadays will absolutely toast your chip and throttle the device so its kinds necessary for gaming
That has been a staple off the ROG phones since the first one they have just been refining it with every revision
@@wonrei It's not for sale yet in the US
Yay! Marques actually acknowledged that wide bezels can serve a useful purpose. Those of us with big fingers and thumbs have hated narrow bezels forever.
I can't stand that my otterbox case stops my fingers from reaching the edge of the screen. I need that ridge to keep it safe. But since the screen is right on the edge I can't reach stuff there. Give me a thicker phone with bezels. It's ok. I can handle it.
Yeah, Marquis is the best
dont forget curved screen.. ugh
yes! bezels do have a purpose, that's why some devices, such as, let's say, an external monitor for cameras are purposely designed with bezels so that 1. you can still hold it by the bezel, and 2. so that the bezels give the photographers/videographers a better sense of aspect ratio and framing since the borders around the screen acts like a frame and enables you to judge the image/video better.
We have Gamepads, accessories and case that can fix that for you. But "IF" you put it on this kind of screen tbh it looks very 2018 and ugly. It is my personal preference i like a full screen to body ration at 2023.
I got the regular ROG Phone 7 and was pleasantly surprised by the radio performance. Standalone 5G works and the phone does a good job selecting which and how many bands to use. You can even tune how aggressive it is with aggregation. GPS locks are fast and accurate even with Google 'assisting'. (US model on T-Mobile)
Both are almost the same right?
nice review as always
“What can I say// gaming phones have come a long way” went hard with that beat.
True
True! 👍🏻
true .
False
@@slyceth you suck balls
I was actually surprised by the cooling system, which I thought was the lamest gimmick before. From the triggers, subwoofer, AND 20-25 degrees Celcius cooler (they say) is pretty awesome. It makes the idea of phone attachments really cool when done well to boost the experience.
The phone slot opening up is the coolest part 😆 Super cool I wasn’t expecting that
ROG3 had the far better accessories though. Its a shame they discontinued that.
P
@@HolyRamanRajya what did it have?
whats cooler is the tech its using a peltier effect which is a kind of like having a fridge at the back of your phone pretty neat
Awesome review man :) thank you
Marques is such a good reviewer, Great content as always
Bought the ROG 6. Phone jack, dual speaker and proper bezels are reason enough to buy it for me. Barely any phones have this nowadays. Insane battery life, fast charging and high refresh rate is a nice plus.
Dual FRONT FIRING speakers to be exact.
I had the ROG 2, and recently replaced it(broken screen fatality) with the ROG 6, and the thing that's actually got me hooked is low-key the side USB-C port. Not only does it mess with grip way less in both landscape and portrait, but you can actually charge and plug in a USB device at the same time. For example, transferring data from my ROG2 to my ROG6, I could plug the ROG6 in to charge, and then plug the ROG2 into the ROG6 for the data transfer, plus the ROG6 charged the ROG2 at the same time 😆
Considering I have the ROG 5, 6 was disappointing for me as it was almost the same device with a new generation chipset. And the straight jump of $180 from 5 to 6 in my country was shocking!!! I had expectations from ROG 7 to be an all rounder. But it turns out to be the same old device with latest snapdragon. People argue that it's a gaming phone so it doesn't matter if it has a B-grade camera. But that can't be an excuse to make the camera system better. Their own Zenfone series has a better camera system. Gamers can take photos too. All I could say is they could have added a telephoto lens and make the system good enough for day to day use for average people. I am not a big gamer, but I bought the ROG 5 because of the same extra features mentioned here and the huge battery too. Also the display is smooth but lags behind in terms of brightness and colour reproduction when compared to other flagships.
65 watt is the same as Oneplus 8T circa 2020.
@@sumanmondalrock Agreed I have rog5 too. ROG7 I guess has a much higher refresh, chipset and this new airvent but else it is the same old same old. Seeing the rooting support ROG3 has, the rog3 accessories; later rogphones have nothing. ROG3 has functioning desktop mode before samsung because of the twinview dock. ROG5 onwards no dual screen dock yet has broken twinview remnants from rog3 OS which actively destroys Android desktop mode in later rogphones. In someways ROG3 is better ignoring the single battery design and preliminary lack of 3.5mm without accessories.
I love that this phone exists -- something I miss about the early 2000s is wacky expressive design and it's great that there's some brands still going for it, seriously considering this as my next smartphone (currently on an iPhone XS)
Do it!
Early 2000s? There were wacky designs but still just bricks
What duterte did was CRIME. KILLED people. "20 322+..."
ive been on my XS for like 4 years now... hate it. worst iphone ive ever had. previously owned the 4,6 and 7. 7 was elite
I had the XS too few years ago and after it the 12 Pro Max, 2 weeks ago i got the 14 Pro Max but today i returned it because i want this gaming phone!!
I think that the thing that does it for me is the fact that we have 3+ GHz processors in our pockets now. Obviously, they're ARM so the IPC isn't as high but when I still have it as a goalpost in my mind, probably because my college laptop boosted to 2.9 GHz
For me it's the dual, and most importantly even and balanced stereo front facing speakers that keep bezels a selling point. Another thing that everyone on a phone without says they don't/wouldn't care about... but if they had it they'll be like damn that's so nice to have pretty much daily. IYKYK right?! High refresh is a lot like that too but I could live with 90 and especially be fine enough with 'just' 120hz.
Yeah I miss my phone that have dual front facing speakers. No phone can compare to it
Dang, this thing has better specs than some new pcs.
So true. Just upgraded my 2022 Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming laptop from 8GB 256GB to 16GB and 1TB storage.
Lol the sadder part is that it beats some of them on price too.
I found out a while ago that my phone, which isn't even a gaming phone or a flagship phone, has a better processor than my PC! 😂😂
My notebook is FullHD and 60Hz 🌚
OFC, they still make $200 chrome books and such so no real surprise this phone has better specs than “new PCs”. This statement has been the valid since iPhone 4 😂, all depends on how cheap you wanna go.
I give mad props to ASUS for being such a truly innovative company. They have always tried so hard to keep pushing and actually earning our money. Thank you ASUS!!
Only if their support was good enough
@@RogerCors yeah, this would be perhaps the only reason I wouldn’t buy this phone even though it looks incredible and first time I’ve been this excited about a smartphone in a while. 2 years simply isn’t long enough especially given the specs, it feels like a waste. Also if I were to look at it more as a console than a phone. Even 3 years would be more palatable.
Yes so innovative that Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, and Jayztwocents are all calling them out on there motherboards setting AMDs x3D CPUs on fire. Yes that is innovative. driving there many base of money right into the hands of MSI, ASrock, and Gigabyte.
This aged well
@@RogerCors what type of support do you mean?!
Marques is the only guy to ever make chilled-out entertaining
What I would love to see is an external GPU booster pack or battery pack modules. This phone screams for such options.
Like a modular phone? That's been tried before and it didn't work out. This is good enough for niche phones
This phone has EVERYTHING already, no complaints. Super Computers are known for their insane GPU and gpGPU abilities. The current massive external cooler could be large enough to include a GPU module. Maybe the ROG Phone 9 will have some insane gpGPU module connected to the motherboard no other phone has.
The possibilities that the extra USBC port and use of external hard ware provide is amazing. Could have attachable camera hardware, a dedicated speaker attachment, possible additional external battery, already have the cooling system. I just the love the idea of having attachments for the phone like this!

Fine. i will do it myself.

2:32 I can’t be the only one who puckered up slightly when he was holding the phone with two fingers out in front of him over the stairs.
Seeing this gives me more and more hope their handheld works out well.

I care very little for mobile gaming but all of recent gaming phones seem more and more appealing to me. From 3.5 jack to bigger bezels and thickness overall are very and very cool
Sounds like you like the thickness part of it more than the gaming part of it, might as well get a thick case for your phone.
@@user-ey1jg5no5f this doesn't fix the bezel and jack problem tho

Love the Thanos reference. Another great video thanks !
Can't wait to see the teardown and durability test of this one...
Already there
" Perfectly balanced, as all things should be!" Aahh the throwback to April 2018 Hysteria.. 💜
This is the most feature packed smartphone I've ever seen. Bravo👏👏
i had a rog 3 for a while but I went back to pixels last year and i didnt realize how much i would miss alot of the rog features. I think my next phone will be a rog again as long as they keep down this line. front facing speakers are a must have.
3:28 Marques, Thanos supporter confirmed? Haha
can confirm as an owner of the rog 6, the battery setup on these things is incredible and is great for anything, not just gaming and well worth the trade off of the bulk
I'm not even a phone gamer, and I'm loving the phone just as an Android power user. So much battery and horse power, and with great software features thrown in. Heck, I've even run Linux in a container on it and was able to use Desktop software for things like photo editing(why are mobile editors still so limited?).
Nice breakdown. Cool phone.
What an honest absolutely epic review
One thing I'm excited for with future phones is when you can buy a laptop shell for them. Imagine having your normal, powerful phone, then just popping it into a shell with a keyboard, display, battery for actual work. Kind of like Dex, but better. Ideally, it would let you dual boot android and an OS of your choice. But that'll have to wait until ARM gains more support in our standard OS'. Because honestly, phones like this are more than powerful enough to do what I'm talking about. That's why dex exists. It's just that they would be better if we could use full computer OS'.
This!!
Moto Atrix, Asus PadFone, NexDock, Razer Project Linda, Asus Transformer Book V. It's not for lack of trying.
internet based os. LIke the phone can boot into vm wit os of choice
theres already linux phones u can do this with
I feel like comparing the current camera quality to the equivalent of what an older smartphone would have would be great!
Loooove the genelecs in the background
The physical trigger buttons really caught my attention. Now that's cool.
I just love that this device exists and has a fanbase - it’s refreshing!
But will it bend in half? Like the previous Asus?
Yeah, I feel the same!
@@fynkozari9271 I never worry about my phone bending in half. Take care of your phone. LOL.

Watching each of your videos is like watching for the first time. You are just a guy talking to us about computer like we're sitting on a bench or out for lunch. Your're not selling me shit, just sharing your passions and interests in good conversation. I fkin luv that! I subscribed since like the first time I saw you..! ❤🙌🏾🙏🏾

Asus makes crazy phones from compact ones to gaming mobile that surprises me as always. Watching this and thinking of buying Zenfone 10. The specs of this phone is awesome though!
Excellent breakdown well said young man.
I was expecting that thanos reference, and I gotta say, you did not disappoint.
Wow. Something about this review was incredibly satisfying
Great video
2:29 Marques join Illuminati
3:25 I know that reference!
Pretty darn impressive phone. It looks like its had a hell of a lot of quality design and thought gone into its creation. I almost never game on my phone but I can really appreciate the work that's gone into this phone, its rare these days. If I needed a new phone, I would buy it just to support the effort gone into it.
I would love to see this up against the Xperia 1 V in performance across gaming, camera and other features.
So what you also have to realize is that yes, it's a great gaming phone, but it's also a great phone. Like, this phone is better than most others as your normal daily phone too. Even just the battery charging customization options make it better than most other phones. I've had the ROG 5s for two years now, and I use it for hours every day and it's still as fast, and the battery still lasts as long, as the day I got it. It's just a beast. Also, I'm a gamer, so I use the cooling accessory when I game, but even for people who aren't that hardcore and just like to play some casual games, they're still going to get a better experience out of this phone than any other. I would recommend this phone to anyone. It's fantastic.
I have the same experience as you, but with a ROG phone 3. I have forgotten how many years has it been now.
I'm so excited..!! Today i returned my iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB SB. I need this ROG 7 Ultimate! I will finally get to 10+ winstreak Akali without charging every damn 1,5 hour xD

Steady charging is still fast charging, according to what the display tells me when I plug in my ROG Phone 6. I can't tell much difference in charge time, it still charges extremely quickly. My guess is it just tapers off more at the low and high end of battery charge, but the largest chunk of the battery charge between 20-80% still charges at the fastest speed.
That camiseta! My alert is up!
Great vid
I was half expecting a snap after the perfectly balanced. Love to see it.
1 of the most underrated feature from Rog 7 here is there are certain game work with Asus to bring in certain feature like alert of certain things during game play and stuff which is crazy .
for example??
@@zumabbar like in a game like Moba 5v5 type of game when jungle monster spawn the phone will make sound to indicate you and such .

@@mitismee sounds (no pun intended)suck tbh cuz it sounds (no pun again) like just an exclusive deal with asus, not cuz of hardware limitation
@@zumabbar yes its exclusive that's what i tryna said.
Unintentinoally getting me hyped for the Ioniq 6 video. Can't wait for that car to be on the market.
I had an ROG 5 and updated to the S22 Ultra when it came out. I can't even deny that I regret that decision. The battery in the ROG felt like it lasted forever, games felt really great with the triggers, and the phone itself just felt perfect for me. Sucks I'll be waiting a few years to hop back in. Hopefully they keep selling well enough to release for a while.
well its dumb to complain about triggers and battery after upgrading to a phone with a smaller battery and no triggers
you should've upgraded to the rog 6 because if the rog 5 was perfect for you, you are a user that doesn't take pictures as much and focus on games and media Rog 6 is better than s22 ultra in these things and its cheaper too
Fr bro.u hv no idea about phone I guess😂
Having a ROG Phone 6 has been pretty amazing so far. But that's also coming from a Razer Phone 2 to that. Almost any phone could have been a great update but I decided to stick with the gaming phone. And the 2-usb ports and aux jack has helped a lot more than you expect. My wife having the Pixel 7 Pro. The one issue she is having is only having that one USB port for charging and playing music. If ASUS decided to take away the aux port. It wouldn't make that match of a difference because you have 2 USB-C ports. Will I upgrade my 6 to the 7... probably not. But I will probably buy one of the later models in the future maybe around 9 or 10(if they keep going)
They tried to remove it on the rog phone 3 but people complained and then brought it back
With these phones, they easily last 3 generations. 😅 I had the ROG2 since US launch, and only recently did I finally upgrade to the ROG6. _(Note: They skipped 4)_
Can you please share with us if the bass (with or without the cooler) distorts in maximum volume? That'd be really useful to know!!
Those active coolers are legit. I use a generic one with my Note 10 and it let's me play Dead Cells, and Pascal's Wager at high settings without any overheating.
"Gaming phones of today walk so that flagships of tomorrow can run!" Loved that line!
That is just amazing. Not for me, but amazing nevertheless. They have put a huge amount of time and effort into just being a tiny bit better for a year.
With the motorized opening letting in outside airflow, do you eventually need to have this opened up and cleaned due to dust accumulation inside?
2:16 nice Illuminati shirt...didnt think we would notice that? great vid
@WRITEMENOWONTELE_GRAMOff-marq Does the creator know you're scamming his viewers? Nice try.
The last line, the gaming phone of today walks so tomorrow’s flagship phone will run 😮😊😂
Just the fan add on is awesome....they should make one for all phones. My S22 ultra and Iphone over heats all the time.
Now imagine someone made an item that's like a pop socket that cools your phone for everyone. I don't know the pros of doing this nor the cons but I can't imagine they'd be too bad.
Man I already loved this channel, but after that thanos reference, I’ll take dinner with you over jay z any day 😂
Asus always pushes the limits in innovative and crazy designs! Great job ASUS! Oehyeah, great video as well 💪 😉
Excited to see what they do with the ROG Ally, a really promising steamdeck competitor
I'm really curious what the price will be. With those specs it doesn't sound like a competitor as I expect it to be way more expensive.
I think redmagic is better even in price haha
